David Davies, chief executive of Wasps has issued Wycombe chairman Ivor Beeks with an ultimatum to accept his club’s demands over a new longer-term deal, or accept they will look elsewhere for a landlord for next season.
The tenant’s home attendances have recently risen above the average gate of the football club, who offered a free game incentive to welcome supporters to watch the League Two outfit in March. Wasps pointed out that only newly promoted sides had to give formal notification of where they would be playing next season by the deadline that passed on Thursday.
Beeks assured supporters the club wouldn’t lose out on valuable revenue from rent and other services the rugby club currently pays the Chairboys. This has led Davies to suggest the rugby club is considering a return move to Loftus Road, home of Queens Park Rangers FC. They moved from there to Wycombe three seasons ago after the Wasps chairman Chris Wright resigned as QPR chairman in 2001.
